Recently, patient care was revolutionized by the introduction of immunotherapy combining anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) checkpoint inhibition with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy as first-line treatment for advanced unresectable HCC. Additional promising studies with mono- or combination immunotherapy are in advanced phases of clinical testing. Currently, however, our understanding of which patients profit from immunotherapy and how therapy response may be related to the composition of the tumour immune microenvironment remains incomplete. Inhibitory receptors as targets of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapies are strongly expressed by T cells in the tumour microenvironment (TME). However, the HCC microenvironment is highly heterogeneous as illustrated by distinct molecular subtypes and subclassifications with an immune-rich microenvironment representing only a small proportion of HCCs. A better understanding of the tumour immune microenvironment is expected to provide insights for clinically applicable biomarkers to optimize immunotherapies. Recent studies identified subtypes of PD-1 expressing CD8+ T cells with divergent function in the HCC TME associated with different outcomes, suggesting that specific PD-1 expressing CD8+ tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM), but not exhausted CD8+ T cells (TEX), govern positive therapy outcomes.

Arising almost exclusively on the background of chronic liver disease, the tumour microenvironment plays a tremendous role in the occurrence and progression of HCC. With the emergence of checkpoint inhibitor‐based combination therapies as first‐line therapy in advanced HCC, the tumour microenvironment has drawn increasing attention as a target for novel therapeutic approaches. In fact, checkpoint‐inhibitor‐based immunotherapies currently dominate clinical studies on HCC therapy. Importantly, whilst checkpoint‐inhibitor‐based immune‐oncology primarily targets T‐cells, the tumour microenvironment consists of a wide variety of different cell populations that show complex interactions with each other and the malignant tumour cells. Stromal cells and representatives of the innate immune system, such as macrophages, neutrophils and natural killer cells hereby orchestrate the initial immune response and thus appear as attractive targets for broad therapeutic effects, less susceptible to immune escape. In this review, we aim to discuss the current knowledge on the role of innate immune cells and stromal cell populations in HCC initiation and progression as well as related novel therapeutic concepts.","PeriodicalId":93331,"journal":{"name":"Liver cancer international","volume":"4 1","pages":"42-57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/lci2.70","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43744058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both enzymes are frequently overexpressed in HCC, and multiple reports have implicated ACSL4 in tumour progression. Increased expression of these isozymes in tumour cells can upregulate lipid metabolism through de novo lipogenesis, fatty acid β-oxidation and acyl chain remodelling of membrane phospholipids. We describe the subcellular functions of ACSL3 and ACSL4 in hepatocytes, and the transcriptional, epigenetic and post-translational mechanisms underpinning their regulation. We discuss the evidence that these enzymes can modulate hepatocarcinogenic signalling by oncoproteins, cell death by apoptosis or ferroptosis, and protein degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
